Vascular Colour Doppler
studies basically use sound waves, in order to evaluate the body’s circulatory
system, as well as help to identify the blockages in the veins and arteries. It
is used to detect the blood clots. Pregnancy Doppler
is actually a technique that evaluates the flow of the blood through the blood
vessels. It does not use any ionizing radiation throughout the exam, which
makes it safe for the patient. It provides the images of soft tissues that
unable to be imaged during x-rays.
It is a non-invasive procedure that doesn’t expose the
patient to harmful radiations. Vascular Doppler is generally performed in a diagnostic centre by professional radiologists.
Vascular Colour Doppler helps to determine the
blood pressure within the arteries. During the process of Colour Doppler ultrasound, images are created as the
transducer is pushed against the skin and moved along the examined body part,
which sends sound waves through the skin and other body tissues to the blood
vessels.
The sound waves used during the Colour
Doppler, echo off the blood vessels and send the information to the
device to be processed, recorded, and imaged. The computer produces graphs or
pictures which show the blood flow through the arteries and veins. The
transducer is then moved to different areas for judgment. Colour Doppler may also help your doctor to identify
any injury to the arteries, and to monitor certain treatments to the veins and
arteries.
Doctors may recommend a vascular Doppler ultrasound if signs are detected of decreased
blood flow in the veins and arteries. The reduction in the amount of blood may
be because of the blockage, a blood clot, or injury. In case, a person shows signs of deep vein
thrombosis, superficial thrombophlebitis, Atherosclerosis, thromboangiitisobliterans, or vascular tumors, doctors recommend going for Colour Doppler. For more details regarding vascular
Doppler, you can reach out ultrasound specialist Dr.Monika.
